Here is a copy of the Newsgroups: line: ]Newsgroups: comp.sys.misc,comp.os.misc,comp.misc,comp.arch and here are the lines describing each of those newsgroups: comp.sys.misc Discussion about computers of all kinds. comp.os.misc General OS-oriented discussion not carried elsewhere. comp.misc General topics about computers not covered elsewhere. comp.arch Computer architecture. Currently, there is no "comp.sys.next", or similar mainstram newsgroup. If a site is not participating in the alt-net, there is no group specifically for the NeXT. I think that J. M. Johnson either owes the net an apology or an explanation as to how discussion of the NeXT computer, it's architecture and it's OS are in appropriate to these newsgroups. -- Cory Kempf UUCP: {decvax, bu-cs}!encore!gloom!cory revised reality... available at a dealer near you.

In comp.arch, cory@gloom.UUCP (Cory Kempf) discourses on Inappropreate??? Why? (In Re: NeXT), thusly:

Hisssss... Pop! Fooosh...)
I'm not Mr. Johnson, but I feel that this has gone on long
enough. The tone of this group has been that of a discussion
about various aspects of system design and performance. The
incessant babble about what Jobs did right or wrong is
beginning to grate on my nerves. This is not the correct
forum for these types of discussion. Please take this to
comp.sys.misc (where I have directed follow ups). The
natrue of that group is far more suited to this class of
discussion.
(squeek, drip, drip... Damn, I hate flamethrowers which don't shut
off cleanly).
